Value Collection BDC87690 Rubber Grommet 7/8 Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDC87690 is a rubber grommet designed to protect wires, cables, and tubing where they pass through holes in sheet metal, panels, and enclosures. It features a 0.875-inch outer diameter, a 0.375-inch inner diameter, and a 0.5-inch overall thickness. The slot diameter measures 0.625 inches with a slot width of 0.25 inches, allowing the grommet to snap into a pre-punched panel opening without requiring assembly from both sides of the panel. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel fabricators commonly install this type of grommet to prevent abrasion and chafing on wire insulation at panel penetrations.

This grommet is suited for use in electrical enclosures, control panels, HVAC equipment cabinets, and general sheet metal fabrication where a clean, protected wire or cable pass-through is required. Its rubber construction provides flexibility for snap-in installation and a degree of vibration and environmental isolation at the penetration point. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial applications where wire protection at panel knockouts or drilled holes is needed.

Key Features

• Rubber material provides flexibility for snap-in installation and resists abrasion
• 0.875-inch outer diameter fits standard panel hole sizes
• 0.375-inch inner diameter accommodates small-diameter wires and cables
• 0.5-inch thickness spans typical sheet metal panel walls
• Slot design allows installation over existing wires without disconnecting leads
• Sold in packages of 25 for job-lot use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock grommet for use in electrical panels, HVAC equipment enclosures, and sheet metal assemblies requiring a 0.875-inch OD panel hole fit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians or HVAC technicians as part of panel wiring or equipment assembly work. De-energize all circuits in the enclosure before working at any panel penetration. Press the grommet firmly into the panel hole until the outer flange seats flush against both faces of the panel material. Verify the inner diameter clears the wire or cable jacket without excessive compression that could damage insulation.
